The card works absolutely fine. So it's not more than applying a single patch against 2.6.39.1 to get the card supported (+ a firmware file from userspace). I modified the patch a little to get rid of two compilation warnings and will modify it further to comply with kernel coding-style rules and post it to this list then.

What I forgot: The run-file can be found here: http://linuxdvb.org.ru/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&postID=16141#post16141 Right now I tried for the first time to apply this patch directly to the mainline linux 2.6.39.1. With some offsets, the patch applied fine and I had the frontend in menuconfig. Compiling throws two warnings but finishes okay. I can't test functionality right now since I'm not at home where the device is but I will test first thing when I get home.

TechniSat SkyStar S2 / CX24120-13Z again
Hello list, I'd like to bring up the discussion about the "TechniSat SkyStar S2" PCI DVB-S2 card again. It has been asked once here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/20733 but was never answered. Information can be found here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechniSat_SkyStar_S2 There is the mentioned binary driver. And s.o. made a patch against DVB s2-liplianin (http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/) that adds support for the CX24120. It's not exactly a patch but a "run"-file with script-header and a tar-archive that extracts the patch and applies it directly. Until linux 2.6.39 I patched the s2-liplianin with the patch (extracted manually) and compiled the driver as module. This worked fine until 2.6.39 where the Big kernel lock (BKL) was dropped. Since then, the s2-liplianin doesn't compile anymore (not related to the CX24120-patch). Is the any chance to get it into mainline? Is there anything I can do but testing? Prepare a patch against mainline with everything needed to get the SkyStar S2 running?
